This website Media diary filters At long last, I got around to adding filters to my watchlist and reading list.

I haven’t written about my website setup in a while, and I thought it’d be nice to compile all the different parts together in one place for easy reference.

Note: If you're reading this in a reader app, the layout's going to be borked with all the images—my apologies.

Here are some things I would like to tackle this year Write a long, in-depth, high-effort blog post about some topic—my website, a project, a travel post, a setup post, whatever.

creative things In the past few weeks, I: Built my listening room (and wrote a post about the process) Participated in hourly comic day.

Last weekend I built a page that I’m calling the listening room.

As more time passes since my last weeknote I feel more and more stressed about the number of things I need to cover and feel too overwhelmed to start the next weeknote sitting down to write and not writing.

Another year, another recap.

Two weeks after my last weeknotes, I was thinking to myself, hmm I should start on my next entry, and then I thought, no, it’s too early, and now it’s been a month since the last.

to summarize: trying to redesign, internet reading list, way too much minecraft, and some other media The latest hyperfixation Redesigning I’ve started working on a site redesign.

I used to write weeknotes—weekly recaps of Stuff—several years ago, with some regularity.

Like many internet girlies, I learned to code on tumblr dot com.

I’ve been into ‘planning’/‘journaling’ (and adjacent stationery hobbies) on and off for a long time.

I made my about page a while back.

Last weekend, I updated my homepage to feature some short comics that introduce different sections of my website. my homepage I made this because I had just attended a local comics festival and was freshly inspired—truly, the level of creativity and craft…

kicking off 2023 (in february, lol), with a quick note about something I want to do: create small utility pages that I (and only me, this is not to satisfy anyone else) find useful, instead of googling them and having to fight junky SEO pages to get xyz i…

Here’s a recap of my media consumption for the year.

I feel like this week has been an exceptionally good week for gamers, which has filled me with a sense of deep appreciation for getting into video games in the past few years. good for me, specifically. i’m gamers. a new season of Destiny started, which is

This week I redesigned my homepage to look like chat bubbles. an introduction to myself, like i am texting you Writing vs.

It makes me feel depressed to give up, but I’m shelving my ~halloween website idea~ that I’m unable to finish before, well, Halloween.

I’ve added my sketchbook back to the site nav.

A standard heading: large, eye-catching text.

‘I should blog more,’ I think, as one does when one has a personal blog.

I’m starting a new homepage redesign—the concept is ‘responsive comic.’

I’ve rebuilt my photo gallery.

I love to discover new things that make me feel colossally stupid for not doing them sooner.

I’ve been using a 4-star rating system for my watchlist for a while now, but I’ve had a consistent problem: most of the time, I end up rating something 2/4 because I think it’s fine.

I’ve created a Reading List.

I finally went and fixed up how I was managing my data on my Lost Sectors and Nightfalls sites.

I meant to write a comprehensive post about my site redesign, but honestly I’ve run out of steam and instead I’m just going to write some messy notes for the sake of actually publishing it.

I started building a to do app, which is really more of a journaling app.

I haven’t written anything lately and I also feel like I’m not thinking about much worth writing about lately, so I’m not writing.

I built a new PC last week.

I published this site redesign last month knowing it was imperfect, and I’ve finally returned to it to fix all the little details that weren’t great.

Winnie Lim wrote, I love my website too, which was part of a chain that links back to Tracy Durnell and James, and then to Jeremy Keith.

Last week, I got around to turning my website into a visual novel.

I started moving my game review content over to a separate collection, with each game being its own item.

I am, as they say, back on my bullshit.

I recently built a client site in Webflow, which was all fun and good and Webflow is a very good website builder, but I ran up against some platform limitations that frustrated me.

I set up my blog so that I could include a table of contents to long posts if I want to.

I made Lost Sector Today to display the day’s rotating activity in Destiny 2, a game I spend too much time playing and thinking about.

Back from April 2021.

I built out a media diary of stuff I watch, because I don’t enjoy using letterboxd and I’m on an eternal quest of reinventing existing platforms on my own site, because I like controlling how things look and work. 🌟 The Eleventy Structure: a JSON data file

and autumn comes when you’re not yet done / with the summer passing by mitski, francis forever little websites Predictably, I made a little website for Destiny 2.

visited the cat cafe, pet lots of cats painting my nails makes me feel extremely beautiful

Games I played in 2021, continually updated.

I’ve returned to my old Keyboard Dressup project, which I made last year as a fun little javascript thing to try out different keycap colour schemes.

It feels weird to fire up the old personal website blog after straight up ignoring it for five months.

I stashed a ‘redesign’ in progress on another branch to write this post.

Keycaps It’s coming along.
